Description
Dani
Shapiro
discusses
her
book
,
“Family
History.”
She
begins
by
sharing
the
basic
plot
of the
book
that
follows
the
narrator
,
Rachel
Jenson
who
is
a
housewife
and
art
restorer
married
to
Ned
, a
former
painter
. The
couple
live
in a
small
town
in
New
England
with their
two
children
,
13
year
old
Kate
and
2
year
old
Josh
.
Shapiro
explains
that by
way
of
flashbacks
, the
book
tells
of the
emotional
devastation
that
Kate
has
brought
to her
family
.
After
baby
Josh
is
involved
in a
tragic
accident
while
in
sister
Kate’s
care
,
Kate
becomes
dangerously
rebellious
,
spiraling
out
of
control
, she
makes
wild
accusations
that
inflict
terrible
damage
on her
family
.
Later
in the
interview
Shapiro
reminisces
about
an
essay
that she
read
called
“Writing
in the
Cold
for the
First
10
Years.”
The
essay
was
about
writers
and how and
why
so
many
give
up
too
soon
.
Shapiro
explains
that
it
was this
concept
that she
found
as
inspiration
for
Ned’s
character
who
is
a
former
painter
turned
real
estate
agent
. Also in this
interview
Shapiro
shares
that she was the
mother
of a
very
ill
child
and how she
harnessed
her
emotions
from that
experience
to
write
this
book
.
